Thought you'd all be interested in this.
Wondering about the status of the dub (it's being replaced in December, and hasn't had a new episodes in well over 6 months... in America, anyway), I e-mailed Roz Nowicki, a marketing director for 4Kids who handled One Piece, and she has confirmed that no new episodes will be made.
Take this how you will... |

So do fansubs become acceptable in cases like this?

fukken quote for fukken truth (though i have issues with the OP fansubs). This doesn't mean One Piece isn't dropped, it just means they've come to a halt. It'll drop in maybe 2009, but don't assume that means someone will pick it up and re;lease bilingual, uncut DVDs. You're all still screwed as it is. |

I still consider no One Piece better than 4Kids One Piece, in any case. No more bs manga influence, at least.
I doubt Toei would let it rot or anything. Sure, Saint Seiya, but that was different - Knights of the Zodiac was an utter failure. One Piece actually managed to generate some interest in the series, and produced a profit. |

That's probably the best news I've heard related to this series. Now we have a chance of possibly someone picking it up and releasing uncut versions, right?

For once, I agree. It's best to watch a sub rather than an extremely censored dub with too much kiddy content.  It's also best to watch the original before you do a character profile on a certain character from that show. For example: Nami's mom didn't get injured. She died. 4kids said she got injured because they wouldn't even allow death in their show. 
Anyways, I think it will drop in probably 2010. But I wish there was an uncut version of the show (I think the uncut version would be licensed by FUNimation). |

Interesting. I hope they at least have the good taste to sell off the rights to the series to Viz or Funimation so they can do better with the series. I mean, it's one of the hugest series in Japan, nearly 300 episodes and still going strong, it shouldn't be too hard to adapt.

Hard? Not really. Expensive? Yes. Sadly, most companies will probably just look at One Piece's run in the US as a failure. |

You would hope so wouldn't you? Unfortunately, the companies don't seem to do this nearly enough imo. Besides, everyone knows 4kids hates anime fans. [/half-sarcasm] |

[EDIT: Learn to type properly. -TK]
[Ninja-edit: *<censored> u, i'm re-writing it...* -FZ] =======================================
This is why 4Kids bought the FOXKids block back in '02, to remove all known anime in the block, and replace them with cruddy ones, like the One Piece {U.nited S.uckiness of R.eally B.ad D.ubs in A.merica (U.S.R.B.D.A.)} dub. And also, did you know that some 4Kids anime i found dicovered on the web have some lolicon, i don't know if they're certified loli, Or fanservice loli, just asking, because i found 2 4Kids anime that has loli in them. --FZ ======================================= Ninja-edit: Since Tony K. erased my original version of this reply, i rewrote it to fit his rules, and hence the reply to his edit on top.

Huh? Since when did any of 4kids' anime have any lolicon material in them? Would you mind telling me where you heard that? Also, your post is very hard to read. |

On the other hand, most anime companies may attribute that failure to 4Kids - they're not exactly the most liked company in the industry. If they see it that way, imagine yourself in the company-who'd-pick-it-up's corporate shoes. Everyone hates the One Piece dub, and it's regarded as one of (if not the) worst dub of all time. Now, you could either screw it up, and get a horrible rep, or you could dub it proper and get praise as the company that saved One Piece. Which will it be? Honestly, I think if Viz were to pick it up after 4Kids, dubbing it without the most intensive care would be corporate suicide. |

How many times do I have to warn you about your grammar before you start correcting it?
